After you have evaluated your responses to the problem… it’s time to choose and implement the best alternative. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for – because it offers a new window of opportunity for growth in your department or organization.
Since most people value a voice in the decisions made to solve 
problems, look for tactics to ensure that others help you to choose and implement your best alternatives. They’ll be the one to work it or bust it and so it’s worth the effort and time here to ensure their voice.
One manager used a contest to stir up enthusiasm across departments for new decisions he wished to implement. He observed later that with new competition and a few prizes at stake, people tended to communicate, laugh and problem-solve together with far more excellent results. So while the team helped him to implement the best alternative, at the same time the process itself worked in his favor and added valuable dividends at work. What would you choose as an alternative response for problems you face at work? How will you know if others will support you?
